Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

This species is distinguished by the presence of an acute bony projection at the tip of the snout, and the posterior nostril opening as a ventrally directed slit on the side of the head just above the upper labial flange, not visible externally; head pores are reduced in size and number, with only three pores in the infraorbital canal, four in the supraorbital canal, and none in the preopercular or supratemporal canals (Ref. 129618).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.8   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (14 of 100).
